You're the light of the world. 💡

This Sunday, Annie reminded us what that means in practice. It's not about being perfect or having it all figured out. It's about letting God's love move through you—at school, at work, at home, in the shops, on the street.

The Holy Spirit sends ordinary people like you and me to do extraordinary things through simple acts of love. Sometimes that's helping someone who's lonely. Sometimes it's sharing. Sometimes it's being brave enough to speak about Jesus—not loudly or scarily, but kindly and honestly.

Jesus's first followers were frightened at first too. And yet they changed the world. Watch the full clip above, and ask yourself: where can I be the light this week?

Join us Sundays at 10:30am at Vale Community Church.

Everyone's welcome. 🙏"

The Spirit is like fire. And today — it blazed. 🔥🔥🔥

Day 2 of Spark & Spirit has been one of those days where you step back and think: this is it. This is what community is supposed to feel like.

Bold choices. Bright colours. Brilliant kids doing things they didn't know they could do.

We are so full.

One more morning to go — and we've saved the best for last. 🌱

Tomorrow we move to Marston Pavilion for our final session — with a picnic afterwards if the weather plays ball ☀️
